This is a truly stunning model. There is nothing not to like! Well done overall. Eric

Duesenberg J engine

And from the rear. You may notice the off kilter rear door handle. That is intentional as that's the way the real car is. Same story on the single silver painted split rim wheel. Thanks for all your interest folks. This one really was a lot of fun to build.

The body was a brute. I cut a Revell '27 T Tudor off at the belt line. I ground off all the door moldings. Next I took two AMT Model T coupe bodies and cut them at the belt line and one behind the front door. Then I used the front door and most of a rear window from the second coupe body glued behind the front door. Using the back part of the rear window and C pillar I made the back half of the rear window. All of these pieces were glued to the underside of the retained Buttera top, thus increasing the height of the car. Lots of filler putty and about a mile of Evergreen half round molding later and Walla! One complete car.I have a long overdue Duesenberg to finish up next and then I plan to complete the set of Improved Fords of 1926. One last photo of the completed car. One important detail to me was the inclusion of the windshield wiper as it was always my job to operate it while my dad drove. Without further ado here is the fully completed car.

Hey thanks for all the compliments. If it had not been for the encouragement of the editor of the Model T Times magazine this one may not have seen light of day but I think now that I am going I can get the whole set finished. I also have to thank Art Anderson for his encouragement with the build up.

I always thought that was a good looking car. Your model does it justice. Very nicely done.

The plan is to debut this model...iin Detroit. I plan to try to take my freshly finished Duesenberg too. Thanks for the compliments guys. This one really fought me.

Last one in a Diorama.

One more together with a very rough model of my '13 Touring.

One more from the rear.

While I still have to make a few detail items like exterior door handles and add detail to the lights I am going to call this one done. Do keep in mind that the actual car is pretty beat up. Comments are always welcome.

I'm closing in on the end of this project. I don't think it looks quite rough enough in comparison to the actual car but a little more weathering should help.

I really like where you are heading with the car. I'll look forward to seeing yourprogress.

For some reason the same post keeps popping up. The car is in final assembly. Though my model is clearly much too shiny in comparison to the actual car the rough looking body and underlying wood work is looking like I want. Not a beautiful and perfect car it is nicely representing the real car.

One last detail that often gets missed on a model of the improved Ford arethe foot pedals. While not perfect these are an improvement.

I have done some weathering and detail work. I am almost to the final assembly stage, though this is always the place where big mistakes can happen. May the force be with me.

Easily the most difficult and frustrating aspect of this model has been making and installing the window cranks. I have them done at last. ..only three evenings later.

Here's the photo.

I have done some interior work. While I still have to add the carpet to the kick panel and add window cranks door knobs and map pockets I am quite pleased with the effect of the pinstripes on the doors.

I have seen a resin sedan version of this our in ebay land more than once. Buy one of those and convert a convertible into a sedan that way. Just my opinion.

I love the period photos. Interesting how you handled the nose cone radiator area. This is a really great model.

This is beyond cool. Very nicely done model.
